Aspirations '09

I prefer not to make resolutions, because I always thwart my attempts at being resolute about things like weight loss or cleaning. But this year I had a few things I really want to aspire to do/learn/be.

1. I aspire to be a less "yelly" mom. Having 3 small children is something I often don't handle so gracefully, lol. I'm asking God to guide me with this one BIGTIME. Breathe and pray.

2. I aspire to be more generous with my time/money/heart. In line with being a good example of how to navigate one's life and what we should be doing while here on earth, I want my children to learn to have a giving heart and so I must SHOW them as much as I can.

3. I apire to attend service regularly.

4. I aspire to become a gardener and preserve as much harvest as we can this year.

5. I aspire to incorporate exercise into my daily life, be that walking with the children more, gardening or swimming. I need to be more active, get my flexibility back, and tone up the baby machine!

There are many more things I want to do, but I also aspire to BE REALISTIC and not as list happy as I am wont to be. Enough is enough. I aspire to know WHEN.
